Remote Volunteer College Readiness Training Director — Cougs 4 Kids

Help Cougs 4 Kids equip underserved youth and young people with practical, accurate information about preparing for college and other postsecondary pathways.

The volunteer College Readiness Training Director will develop and coordinate remote educational workshops for participants, mentors, volunteers, and families. Content should be clear, inclusive, current, and focused on general education—not individualized legal, tax, financial, or admissions advice.

Responsibilities:

• Develop an age-appropriate college-readiness training plan and workshop calendar
• Create accessible materials about exploration, applications, essays, campus life, scholarships, and financial-aid basics
• Train facilitators and mentors to use approved content consistently
• Coordinate guest speakers and review presentations before delivery
• Include community college, university, certificate, apprenticeship, and trade-school pathways
• Verify factual claims and clearly identify official resources and deadlines
• Avoid admissions guarantees, scholarship promises, or individualized professional advice
• Gather participant feedback and improve materials over time
• Follow privacy, accessibility, youth-safeguarding, and content-approval procedures

Qualifications:

• Experience in college access, advising, education, training, student services, admissions, financial-aid education, or curriculum development
• Strong research, writing, facilitation, and project-management skills
• Familiarity with U.S. postsecondary pathways and official student-aid resources
• At least 25 years old and willing to complete screening
• Ability to communicate complex information accurately and inclusively

This is a remote, recurring role available within the United States. Expect approximately 4–8 hours per month.
